Message Box Size and Position Options [UPDATED]

Message Box Size and Position Options

This script allows you to set the size of a message box, and/or set it to a fixed position on the game screen.

 

NEW FEATURES:

• You can now quickly set the variables using the function call: message_box_options(width, height, x, y), it's much easier than having to manually set all the variables one by one.
  
• You can also reset the options quickly as well using message_box_options_reset

Instructions

Create four variables for the following settings:

• The width of the message box
  
• The height of the message box
  
• The X position on the screen
  
• The Y position on the screen
  

Next, edit the settings in the script to assign the identify what variables are used.

# Options

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Variable with the message width

# If the variable value is 0, the full width of the window will be used

MESSAGE_WIDTH = 2

 

# Variable with the message height

# If the variable value is 0, the default height will be used

MESSAGE_HEIGHT = 3

 

# Variable with the X position

# If the variable value is -1, it will be centred on the screen

MESSAGE_X = 4

 

# Variable with the Y position

# If the variable value is 0, the position chosen in the editor

# (Top, Middle, Bottom) will be used

but where he writes the message that appears on top of the character?

There's not an option for that yet, sorry. The one in the screenshot was positioned manually, sorry if there was a bit of a misunderstanding.

ok, I was looking for a script with this message, but does not.

I needed to make my game more interesting.

I've found and fixed a bug in the script. When resetting the text box position when you changed the height of the text box, then talking to someone immediately after, the box would go out the screen. I've fixed the bug so that no longer occurs.

Will this script work with Yanfly Engine Ace - Ace Message System v1.04 amd the 2 addons?

[Zerbu 40]

I'm not sure, I made this before those scripts were made.

So in the same event as the text, before the text, you go advanced/script then input the variables?

Sorry for the major necropost, but I found and fixed a little bug.

 

On line 100 or so, replace this:

if $game_variables[5] != 0

with this:

if $game_variables[MESSAGE_Y] != 0

 

Otherwise, you will not be able to adjust the Y position of the message box when using a variable other than 5.

 

p.s. I love this script - thank you for writing it!
